Elder Parker Moss: Week 1 in Cabo Rojo

Family and Friends!!!!!!

I am here in Cabo Rojo and boy is it different than Juncos. I love the Elders here in my new house. they all speak only Spanish so I can't speak English with them because they won't know what's going on.

The area is smaller than in Juncos but I have to walk 1 hour and 30 minutes to my area, it is actually really nice. I like it, I get to know my companion better during this walk. I really like the ward here in Cabo Rojo 2. They are really great people and want to help as much as they can.

I am sorry I don't have much more about the area right now I don't really know our investigators. every time we tried to show up and teach them they weren't there.

I love you all and I know that the Lord will help you in everything you do because he is really helping me right now trying to communicate with the Elders in my house - especially being the only one that doesn't speak the language.

Sorry for the short letter this week

I love you all and miss you all

Elder Musgo
